CHAO FAQ

Q. What is a FAQ?
A. Frequently Asked Questions. -_-

Q. What is a Chao?
A. Chao are cute little virtual pet-like creatures found in SA2B, SADX Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2. It is your job to take care of them, feed them, train them (raising their stats) and race them ^_^ They come in all sorts of pretty colours and hatch from eggs. They can evolve into cute little angels or devious little devils and even stay completely neutral towards life. They can learn and make friends and they love to eat!

Q. How is "Chao" pronounced?
A. It is pronounced "Chow" and the plural (meaning there is more than one) for Chao is Chao.

Q. Which Game is this info for?
A. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.
Q. What's that floaty thing above my Chao?
A. That's the Chao's Emote Ball. It will change depending on how it feels/what it's doing. If your Chao is Happy or ready to mate, its Emote Ball will become a heart, if your Chao is hurt or tired its Emote Ball will become a swirly tornado thing, if your Chao is thinking its Emote Ball will become a ? and if your Chao has an idea its Emote Ball will become a !

Q. How do I unlock the Hero or Dark Garden?
A. To get the Hero Garden make a chao evolve into a Hero type. To get the Dark Garden make a chao evolve into a Dark type. This can easily be done by raising the baby Chao with Hero or Dark characters only.

Q. How do I plant seeds?
A. First you must win the Watering Can and the Shovel from the chao races. To get those, complete level 3 in the Stump Valley and Crab Pool races. It may take a while but that chao will now be able to plant seeds.

Q. UGH! my chao planted a tree in a place I don't want it!
A. Don't worry, all trees bought from the Black Market and planted by chao will die eventually, just wait for the tree to die. There are certain spots where a tree can be planted, so you don't have to worry about a Chao planting it in the water or on a mountain ledge or something like that.

Q. Is there any way to make my tree live longer?
A. I don't think so. The type of tree that lives the longest is the Strong Seed, so I suggest planting one of those.

Q. The fruit on the tree isn't growing fast enough! How can I make it grow faster?
A. Quite impatient, are we? Yes, just get the Chao to water the tree, that will make the fruit grow faster. To get a Chao to water a tree, it must have the watering can. Repeatedly place the Chao in front of the tree until it waters the tree.

Q. How do I play with a toy my chao won in the races?
A. You can't. Some toys can only be used by chao, other's are for the garden (the balls, the jack-in-the-box, the rocking horse, the radio, and the television) and others go to the chao that won them in a race, and will only take that toy out when it wants to (all except for the shovel, the chao will take that out when you give it a seed to plant)

Q. How do I know if my Chao is in its 2nd evolution?
A. Umm...you just have to know. If he's 3 4 or 5 years old, and you've been gving him a lot of animals and drives, and he looks a little different from his 1st evolution...then he's probably in his 2nd evolution...

Q. How many Chao can I have in one Garden?
A. 8

Q. What stat levels do you suggest for races?
A. Beginner - Level 15+
Jewel - Level 30+
Challenge - Level 37+
Hero/Dark - Level 50+

Q. How do I smake sure my Chao won't die?
A. Don't treat it bad! It is very hard (in my experience) to kill Chao. So don't worry about it.

Q. My Chao turned into an egg!! What happened?
A. It regenerated. If your Chao is at the end of its lifespan and you've treated it well, it will reincarnate by surrounding itself in a pink cacoon and reverting to an egg.

Q. When will my Chao wake up?
A. Chao don't sleep for very long, just let it sleep in peace or it wll get very annoyed.

Q. If I break a Chao egg, will the Chao inside hate me?
A. Nope. The Chao won't hold a grudge.

----------------------------------

CHAO EGGS, BREEDING, DEATH AND REBIRTH:

Every Garden comes with an egg. The Chao Garden comes with 2 eggs and the Hero and Dark gardens come with 1 egg each. You can also buy chao eggs from the Black Market, or get chao to breed to get more chao eggs. There are three ways to hatch an egg:

-Pick it up and cuddle it (hold down the B button when you pick up the egg, then push the control stick; or, hold Y while holding the egg, and push the control stick), then set it down

-Pick it up and throw it against a wall

-Leave it alone, it will hatch on its own

There IS a way to make sure an egg doesn't hatch, and that is to leave it floating in the water, of course this will only work if you stay in the garden, as soon as you leave and re-enter the garden the egg will appear in a different (and random) location.

The methods you choose to hatch a chao egg will affect a chao's personality but contrary to popular belief it will NOT affect the appearence of the chao (its face) A chao's face is pre-determined before you even hatch the egg. In the Sonic Advance game, you can see a chao's face before you get it, allowing you to change it if you wish by cancelling the selection (that only works if the Chao has never been in SA2B before). The Chao's face is determined as soon as the egg is created.

Chao breeding is quite easy, all you need are two chao who are both in their second evolution or higher and one must be willing to mate. To get your chao fertile enough to mate you can let it happen naturally or you may buy a "Heart Fruit" from the Black Market and feed it to your chao. When your chao is ready to mate (it will sit down on the ground with a heart over it's head and flowers will bloom around it) just place another chao beside it and poof! instant chao egg!

Q. My Chao wont mate, is my game broken?
A. Um...no. They probably just don't like eachother, try again with two different chao and make sure they're BOTH in their second evolution or higher and at least one is ready to mate.

Q. Both Chao are in their second evolution and both had eaten a Heart Fruit, they still won't mate! WHY?
A. Make sure you have at max 7 Chao in that Garden or else they will not be able to mate. The maximum number of Chao you can have in one garden is 8, so if you have 8 Chao and two mate to create a new Chao, this cannot happen because it would exceed the maximum ammount of Chao by 1. So instead, they just cannot mate.

Q. How do I know what gender my Chao is?
A. Chao do not have genders.

Q. How long do chao live?
A. The average Chao lifespan is 4 to 5 years old. (about 3 hours in real-time) Using common sense, a Chao will live longer if you treat it better. At the end of a chao's lifespan it will cacoon and die or cacoon and be reborn. You can tell if it will die if the cacoon is gray, if the cacoon is pink that means it will be reborn and you will be left with its egg to hatch. Don't worry about killing your chao though, it is very difficult to make a chao die. You would have to treat it very badly throughout its entire life (aww, why would you want to do that?) there is no need for that however, you can just grab any chao you don't want and step on the big red button on the platform of the GBA stand in the Gardens, and select "Good-Bye" your chao will go off to a magical forest and live there happily forever (in other words, it will be deleted from your memory card) The only chao which cannot die are The Chaos Light Chao, the Chaos Angel Chao, and the Chaos Devil Chao.

Tiny Animal FAQ

Q. Where do I get the (insert animal here) tiny animal?
A. You might want to check out a Walkthrough at Http://www.gamefaqs.com they have some really great walkthroughs! and you'll be able to find a list with the locations of animals there too.

Q. Which Tiny Animals do you recommend?
A. Running - Rabbit
Flying - Condor (purple bird)
Swimming - Otter
Power - Bear
Ledgendary - Phoenix
Black - Skeleton Dog or Half Fish (aka Kappa)
Blue - Raccoon or Ram

Q. Does only the Skeleton Dog remove animal parts?
All Black animals (Bat, Skeleton Dog, Haf-Fish) will take animal parts away.

Q. Does the Half-Fish give Chao their feet back?
A.The Half-Fish will give Chao their legs back. I know they do because I use Half-Fishes a lot, and it has given my Chao their legs back. The Black animals all remove animal parts, and the Skeleton Dog is the only animal that doesn't give animal parts to a Chao. The Bat's leg-removing and the Half-Fish's Flame/Whisp Ball do count as animal parts. That means that the Half-Fish andthe Skeleton Dog will both remove the Bat's no-leg effect, and the Skeleton Dog and the Bat will remove the Half-Fish's Flame/Whisp Ball effect. I hope that made sense...I've also learned that you can get rid of the Half-Fish's Flame/Whisp Chao Ball effect by giving a Chao a Chaos Drive aswell.

CHAO LABORATORY:

---Breeding cool coloured Chao---

There are many interesting types of Chao you can get when you breed Chao. Each time you ate Chao, the baby gets a little of the parents genes which are passed on from generation to generation. Most strange coloured Chao are easy to get and some are difficult to get...here's a list of cool coloured Chao you can get. but first a little info on the types of Cho there are out there.

Half-Normal(aka Two-Toned): A Chao that has unusual colours like maybe red with blue highlights. They are unusual and can only be found by breeding.

Shiny: Shiny pink/sky blue/purple etc. Chao you can buy at the Black Market

Monotone: single coloured Chao like the pink/blue/red etc Chao you can buy at the Black Market

Shiny Half-Normal: Half-Normal but also Shiny. There are also Shiny-Normal Chao who have normal colours but are shiny.

Transparent: Ghostly looking Chao that you can see through. They have faint colours and can barely be seen.

Invisible: Completely invisible besides for the eyes, mouth, ball/spike/halo, wings, and animal parts.

Monotone Normal Chao: A strange Chao recently discovered, I luckily stumbled upon the correct methods of obtaining one. It appears Monotone white when hatched, but you can quickly tell it is not a normal Monotone Chao by simply petting it with a Dark character. (more on this later)

1. Half-Normal (aka Two-Toned) and Shiny Half-Normal

To get a Half-Normal Chao is quite easy. All you must do is mate any Shiny Chao or any Monotone Chao to a Normal Chao. The result will either be a Half-Normal, Shiny Half-Normal, Shiny-Normal, Shiny(colour of Shiny parent), Montone(colour of Shiny parent), or Normal. Depending on what Chao you mated.

Here's a list of the Half-Normal Chao I've gotten:

Shiny Pink/Normal- Main colour is purple with pink highlights. Very nice when Dark aligned. Shiny version is even prettier

Shiny Sky Blue/Normal- Looks like a lighter blue version of the normal Chao but has very light blue markings. Looks nice when evolved into a Neutral Running Chao. Looks quite nice when Shiny. When hatched, it is darker than normal.

Shiny/Normal- Looks like a regular Normal Chao, only shiny.

Yellow/Normal- Main colour is green with yellow highlights.

White/Normal- Looks very similar to a Normal Chao when born, only more

faded looking. When Dark, its body is black and its tips are blue. Very nice.

Brown/Normal- Main colour is dark green with brown highlights.

Blue/Normal- Main colour is light blue with dark blue highlights.

Grey/Normal- Main colour is teal with grey highlights.

Green/Normal- Main colour is green with green highlights.

Red/Normal- Main colour is dark red with light red highlights.

Lime Green/Normal- Main colour is lime green with lime green highlights.

Purple/Normal- Main colour is blue with purple highlights.

Orange/Normal- Main colour is brown with orange highlights.

Black/Normal- Main colour is black with lighter black highlights.

2. Transparent/Invisible Chao

How to make transparent chao:

Simply mate a Jewel Chao to any Shiny Chao. The result with either be a Transparent or Translucent Chao. The type of Jewel Chao you use doesn't matter, however the type of Shiny Chao does count.

(Note: Jewel chao can only be obtained through Sonic Advance 1/2. The gold and silver chao from Sonic Adventure DX do not count as jewel chao, you may use ANY Jewel Chao, but the Shiny colours are specific)

Shiny Red/jewel- Transparent Shiny light Green with yellow highlights.

Shiny Pink/jewel- Looks Half-Normal when hatched, but when evolved, doesn't have the correct colors. It's Shiny Milk Blue-Green. More opaque than clear. Quite beautiful. Neutral/Fly is Light Blue with dark blue rings around it's head.

Shiny Orange/jewel- Transparent Shiny Lime Green, yellow highlights

Shiny Yellow/jewel- Completely invisible except for the eyes, mouth, ball/spike/halo, wings, and animal parts.

Shiny LimeGreen/jewel- Completely invisible except for the eyes, mouth, ball/spike/halo, wings, and animal parts.

Shiny Green/jewel- Transparent shiny green, really clear.

Shiny Sky Blue/jewel- Produced clear, really, really, light blue-green tint with yellow highlights.

Shiny Blue/jewel- Transparent Shiny Blue.

Shiny Purple/jewel- Produced Clear Shiny Sky blue with green highlights.

Shiny Brown/jewel- Interesting. A mixture of Shiny light blue & Shiny white. A shiny white with a light blue shiny wrap!

Shiny Black/jewel- Transparent Light Milky Blue-green. Looks like fog/smoke.

Shiny Grey/jewel- Completely invisible except for the eyes, mouth, ball/spike/halo, wings, and animal parts.

Shiny White/jewel- Transparent Shiny light blue-green with yellow highlights.

3. Monotone Normal Chao
These Chao were a myth until now. Recent discoveries have proven them to be correct. I have one of these Chao an I luckily stumbled upon the recipe for it. It appears Monotone white when hatched but you can easily reveal it to be a MTN when you pet it with Dark characters. If it is in fact this rare Chao, it will turn red. If not, it will remain white like a normal Monotone Chao. When it evolves it will change colours. It will however, stay white for every Hero alignment (don't ask why, I don't know)

The name means...

Monotone = One solid colour
Normal = Changes colours like a Normal Chao
Chao = It's a Chao

The recipe is this:

Shiny Pink* + Normal= Half-Normal
Half-Normal + Normal= Monotone Normal Chao

There you have it! Good luck trying to get you very own rare Monotone Colourchange Chao!

*It is not known if Shiny Pink is needed, but I suggest it because this is how I discovered my own MTN Chao ^_^

CHEATS, GLITCHES and CHAO GAMES:
A few Cheats and Glitches in the game that you either want to watch out for, or use to your advantage...the system goes like this:
RISK Factor = risk of ruining your game 0 - 10 (10 being the worst 0 being no risk at all)
Difficulty = How difficult pulling off this trick is 1/5 (1 being easy peasy and 5 being very hard)

Infinite Animal Cheat:
This Cheat can save you a lot of time! Get your Chao's stats to Level 99 in NO time! All you have to do is grab a tiny animal or a chaos drive, step into a Garden and find a Chao. Pet the Chao or give it a fruit, something to make it stay still. You can also get it stuck in the pillar in the Hero Garden so it can't move at all (the one right near the door) GRab the animal or drive and stand in front of the Chao. Leave enough space so that you won't hand the animal/drive to the Chao. Drop the animal/drive right in front of the Chao and it wil use the animal/drive but it will drop it again and it will be usable again! You can do this as many times as needed!
RISK Factor: 0
Difficulty: 3/5

Camera Trick:
You can hit stuff with your camera. Postition yourself so that your character is standing in front of the Ball in the Garden, make sure the ball is right in front of your camera. Walk forward and the camera will hit the ball and send to rolling! It's amusing.
RISK Factor: 0
Difficulty: 1/5

Ring Trick:
This can be a lifesaver, or a game crasher. All you need to do is go into the Black Market and buy something very expensive. Then go out, place the item in a Garden and save. Go back into the Garden, retrive the item and go back to the Black Market. sell the item and when you hear the "ka-ching" hit reset on the GCN. When you enter the Garden again, you should have all of the rings yo spent on the item...AND the item.
RISK Factor: 9 (I did this trick involuntarily, when I tried to sell an item I accidently bought and a power surge reset my GCN. Nothing would save. Be warned)
Difficulty: 1/5

The OTHER Ring Trick:
Go into City Escape Mission 3 (Find The Lost Chao) and collect rings, but do not get the Chao, instead go throught the level as many times as it takes to get 999 rings (maximum) If you're really good, like me (^_^) you can get 999 rings in 3 tries (hit the Go Back ring twice) As soon as you have the desired ammount of rings, simply "find" the Chao.
RISK Factor: 0
Difficulty: 2/5

Chao Hat Glitch:
I am not sure how this glitch is activated. For me it was the freak power surge accident that reset my GCN and caused me to do the "Ring Trick" after that I couln't save ANYTHING. I ended up having to sell the item I had bought again and buy another item of the same price. But the Hat Problem still remained. No matter how many times I smacked my Chao around, the eggshell would not come off. I ened up "Saying Good-Bye" to poor Lucky but as soon as I got rid of the corrupted Chao, the hat problem was gone. A few other people are having this problem, so if you have a Chao with a hat that will not come off, I suggest saying "Good-Bye" to it.
(NOTE: Sometimes if your Chao's hat will not come off, it just means you have too many items in your Garden. Remove an item (fruit) and you should be able to get the hat off)
RISK Factor: 10 (your Chao will be stuck with a hat on forever!)
Difficulty: ??? It is unknown what caused this glitch.

The Dark Garden Fence Glitch:
You know that fence right by the tree in the Dark Garden? Did you know you can drop a Chao into the ground? It will be inside the ground and all oyu can see is its head. This isn't what's bad about this glitch. If you drop the Dark Garden Ball into that area, it will be lost forever! Be very careful! This glitch does not need to be activated, it exists as soon as you get the Dark Garden.
RISK Factor: 10 (you WILL lose your ball)
Dificulty: 1/5

The Underground Glitch:
This is a funny glitch. Sometimes if you throw the tiny animals they will go right through the ground! you can only see a moving shadow. The animals are actually swimming under the ground....they will eventually come out of the ground by swimming into the pool. You can also push a Chao into the ground when its sleeping. Just push a Chao over to the edge of a pool and nudge it slowly over the edge, it will get stuck inside the edge of the pool and sometimes go under the ground! The Chao can get out by itself though.
RISK Factor: 0 (harmless, but amusing)
Difficulty: 0-3/5 (0 for the animal throwing and 3 for the Chao underground)

CHAO GAMES:
Fun games to play when you're bored and have nothing better do do.

CHAO BOWLING

Bored? having a party? Just need to take out some anger on something? well, whatever to occasion, Chao Bowling is alway the game to play! All you need is a Garden and an un-hatched Chao egg. Pick it up and throw it! here's how scoring goes:

-your score stays the same if you miss/hit nothing
-award yourself 10 points if you hit a Garden item (t.v, rocking horse, boom box)
-award yourself 20 points if it lands right on top of a Chao's artwork (the pictures Chao draw on the ground)
-award yourself 30 points if you can get it to land on the bridge thing in the Hero Garden
-award yourself 40 points if you can get it to land the water (Chao Garden only)
-award yourself 50 points if you hit a Chao
-award yourself 100 points if you can get it to land inside the cage in the Dark Garden (I did it once)

game ends when the egg breaks

my current high score is: 190

Chao bowling will not hurt any of the other Chao in the garden.
